--What happened in the last chapter-

And then Draco and Ginny, in mid-kiss, fell through the open doorway, as nothing was supporting their backs anymore. Ginny, realizing the predicament she and Draco were in, immediately jumped up and turned to face Ron.

She laughed nervously.

"Surprise?"

Chapter 5

Ron stood beside the couch, mouth gaping, and his eyes wide open. He looked from Malfoy to Ginny and back again, as if he wasn't quite sure who to be angry with, then he looked to Hermione for answers.

Hermione didn't notice, though, as she too busy giving Ginny looks of disbelief and giving Malfoy looks of utter hatred.

Finally, Ron gasped, "Wha-(

He took a moment to recollect himself.

"Malfoy! What have you done to my sister?!"

"I was kissing her, you twit." Draco stood, crossing his arms and glaring at the older Weasley, who was positively fuming at the ears.

"Did you ask her permission?" Ron replied, as all logical thought was escaping from his mind, and being replaced with Must kill Malfoy. Which is exactly what he did.

Well, Ron didn't kill Malfoy, but he did land a rather hard right hook to Malfoy's perfectly structured face before Malfoy could so much as blink.

The girls gasped as Ron's momentum caused both him and Draco to tumble through the open doorway and into the hall.

When Ginny and Hermione ran to the tumultuous fight, both girls realized that they needed to separate the two or both boys would be spending a few days in the hospital wing.

Hermione pulled out her wand and shouted, "Immobilis!" Instantly Ron and Draco froze , Ron sitting on Draco's chest, trying to punch Draco in the face again, and Draco grabbing the collar of Ron's robe, twisting it around his neck.

Ginny took a good look at the two young men, and she realized Ron was sporting both a black eye and a bleeding lower lip, but Draco's only injury was Ron's initial punch. How did that happen?

Hermione ran forward and tried to pry Ron from Draco, but to no avail. "Ginny, c'mon! Help me out, here." And with both girls' muscle power, Ron was freed. Hermione dragged him down the hall, a good distance away from Draco. "Ginny! Keep Malfoy down!"

"Gladly," Ginny said to herself, as she took Ron's place, sitting on Draco's chest. She leaned in and held his shoulders down, smiling mischievously.

"Not like that!" came Hermione's angered cry. Ginny turned her head and saw Hermione's eyes narrow in her direction.

"Alright!" she screamed back. She climbed off Draco and sat behind him, hooking under his arms to pull him up and firmly wrapping her arms around his torso.

"Ginny!"

Ginny's quick temper flared. "How the bloody Hell am I supposed to keep him down without touching him!?"

Hermione shrank back and nodded. She brought her wand out again and yelled, "Finite Incantem!"

Ron sank down on all fours, and Draco's arms fell limp against his sides.

With a mighty cry, Ron started for Draco again. Hermione quickly tackled him to the ground.

"Ronald Weasley, you will end this petty little fight right this instant." As Hermione sat on top of Ron, she put her hands on his hips and clucked at him.

"But-Hermione," he whined, trying to squirm away from her.

"No 'but's." She shook her head.

"Fine."

Hermione climbed off him. Ron dashed forward, drawing his hand back, running straight towards Malfoy and Ginny-

"STUPIFY!" He crumpled to the floor. Hermione stomped her feet. "Oh, Ron," she whispered.

Hermione struggled to lift Ron's limp form, but the dead weight was too much. "Ginny, come help me."

Ginny tightened her hold on Draco, then with a sigh of defeat she stood and moved to help Hermione with Ron.

The girls finally lifted Ron from the floor and started down the hall towards their House.

Silence engulfed them all.

When Ginny looked back to catch Draco's eye, she found he was already gone.

[Hm.this chapter was a bit more serious than the others, and it's really short.and I hadn't really prepared it like the others, either. I kind of wrote as I thought. I hoped you guys liked it!
